A study of the mesencephalon in the chicken has shown many interesting resemblances between the avian and the reptilian and the mammalian nuclear pattern in this region. The following account attempts to stress those likenesses by an application of mammalian terminology to certain nuclear groups in the avian midbrain. The pertinent literature will be considered in connection with the descriptions of the various areas.
